Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
Towards the end of the 1980s, he did his “training” on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners who know him in confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
